SetProjection(m,proj);
m
-
a WorldMap object
proj
the name of a projection, optionally including parameters if applicable
The SetProjection command sets the default projection of m.
This projection is the one that is used by default when calling Display, and when printing a world map object. It is also the projection that is considered when using ResetView.
proj must be the name of a valid projection (see the full List of Projections), optionally including parameters if applicable (for example, CylindricalEqualArea(37.5)).
m≔DataSets:-Builtin:-WorldMap⁡
m≔PLOT⁡...A map of the worldprojection: MillerCylindrical
When the map is displayed after setting the center, it now uses the LambertAzimuthalEqualArea projection.
SetProjection⁡m,LambertAzimuthalEqualArea
PLOT⁡...A map of the worldprojection: LambertAzimuthalEqualArea(0,0)
This projection is also the one now used by default with the Display command.
